this website dedicated to design made from recyclable materials:
http://www.superuse.org/


for example, an article on this house

<img src="http://www.superuse.org/images/990.jpg" width = 500>

"...built from salvaged materials, situated right on the edge of copenhagen's renaissance defense line in autonomous squatters' community christiania.

the glass house and its many neighbours are seriously under threat these years, but the wild, everyday poetry of this building has rarely, if ever, been achieved by any professional, Danish architect, and it should be listed rather than razed. "


The article discusses the current state of affairs in Christiania, which has recently been given a reprieve from the Danish government.
